Good morning,

When was the claim issued?
Exactly what forms have you received?

Can you post up copies of the forms after removing personal details and claim number please?

Hi
When you say the debt is over 6 years old what exactly do you mean, was the account opened over 6 years ago or has it been more than 6 years since the contract was terminated or maybe more than 6 years since the last payment was made.

If a claim form has been received, did you receive a letter before action and did you respond to it ? It seems some people , quite understandably , are confusing the letter before action with a claim form however each requires a different response.

The AGE of the account is not what you need to look at it's the date of the last payment/default date.

I've made no payments at all.

Re: O2 and Lowell

You need to acknowledge the claim per the response pack asap.

The Particulars of Claim state that the account was terminated.
What was the termination date?

Re: O2 and Lowell

Were there issues with the contract that led it into being taken out and not making any payments at all ? Was there a handset involved, had you tried to cancel ?

SOmetimes these contracts are of a fixed period and terminate at the end of the fixed period ( like 18 months etc) and that could be argued to be the cause of action date, so really need a bit more info on what happened with this contract to end up with making no payments and then receiving a court claim 6 years down the line.

You've left the claim number on the Claim Form which you’ve uploaded. You need to remove that because it can identify you.

You also need to remove your password to prevent someone accessing your MCOL file online.

Re: O2 and Lowell

It was that long ago I have no idea. I'm going to assume that i didn't pay or my exgot it out in my name. I havent had a contract phone in avery very long time so I really can't answer the questions. I know i need to acknowledge the claim but if its more that 6 years old and no paymentd have been made isn't it statutes barred?

Re: O2 and Lowell

Get it acknowledged and then send off letters to find out more information - the CPR 31.14 and CCA request are a good start.

CCA Request Letter || CPR 31.14 Request Letter


A Subject Access Request Letter to O2 might be a good idea as well.
